Uncle Sams Boys In The Ranks Or Two Recruits In The United States Army PDF Download

Excerpt from Uncle Sam's Boys, in the Ranks: Or Two Recruits in the United States Army "Aw, what's the difference between a soldier and a loafer?" demanded "Bunny" Hepburn. "A soldier ain't a loafer, and it takes nerve to be a soldier. Its a job for the bravest kind of a man, ' retorted Jud Jeffers indignantly. "Answer my c'nundrum, ' insisted Bunny. "It ain't a decent conundrum," retorted Jud, with dignity, for his father had served as a volunteer soldier in the war with Spain. "Go on, Bunny," broke in another boy in the group, laughing. "I'll be the goat. What is the difference between a soldier and a loafer?" "A soldier gets paid and fed, and the other loafer doesn't, ' retorted Bunny, with a broadening grin. A moment later, when he realized that his "joke" had failed to raise a laugh, Bunny looked disappointed. "Aw, go on, ' flared up Jud Jeffers. "You don't know anything about a soldier."
